Rough Artist Statement

My work explores the relationship between everyday ordinary happenings and the use of an iconic statement prop such as a red umbrella.
With influences as diverse as the innocence of everyday youth and the atmosphere of a never-sleeping city, new synergies are distilled from both explicit and implicit narratives.
Ever since I had taken interest in photography I have been fascinated by the different perspectives of human nature by different photographers. What starts out as an ordinary object soon becomes finessed into an iconic prop used to portray its many uses in many different situations, leaving only a new appreciation for everyday items.
As subtle forms become transformed through calm and graceful practice, the viewer is left with a glimpse of the edges of our condition.
